When and Where Will the Screening Test Take Place?

The management of the University of Ilorin has announced the dates for the post-UTME screening test for the 2023–2024 academic session. The screening test will take place from 19th to 23rd February, 2024 at various venues within the university campus.

To find out your specific screening schedule, you need to log in to the university’s admission portal at UNILORIN Admission Portal. There, you’ll be able to view your individual screening date, time, and venue, as well as other related information.

Make sure you mark these dates on your calendar and arrive at your screening venue at least 30 minutes before your scheduled time. Don’t forget to bring your printed application slip, original and photocopies of your credentials, and a valid means of identification.

What to Expect from the Screening Test?

The screening test is a computer-based test (CBT) that consists of 50 questions from English Language, Mathematics, and General Knowledge. You’ll have 30 minutes to complete the test.

The questions will be based on the UTME syllabus for your chosen course of study. You can find the syllabus for each course on the JAMB website.

The test is designed to assess your aptitude, comprehension, and critical thinking skills. It’s not a walk in the park, but it’s not impossible either. You just need to study hard and practice a lot.

Here are some tips on how to prepare for the screening test:

• Review your UTME subjects and topics. Focus on the areas that you’re weak in or unfamiliar with.
• Solve past questions and mock tests from UNILORIN and other similar institutions. You can find some online resources.
• Brush up on your English grammar, vocabulary, and usage. You’ll need them to understand and answer the questions correctly.
• Learn some general knowledge facts and current affairs. You never know what might come up in the test.
• Manage your time wisely. Don’t spend too much time on one question or skip any question. Answer the ones you know first, then come back to the ones you’re unsure of later.
• Stay calm and confident. Don’t let anxiety or nervousness get the best of you. Trust yourself and your abilities.
